Need help i have some questions PLEASE PLEASE!

[Kelso2010]

hello everyone,

i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in march 2014 and i took care of everything to where when i checked it twice daily it would come out to be between 85-90.  I went to Pakistan and for 3 months really ate whatever.  Now i have the following symptoms

my feet get burning sensation
than there are other times my feet feel cold
Sometimes i feel like my feet or toes in general are numb
my legs hurt, around my joints and lower leg and even my thighs(no cramping just pain)
my arms also hurt
my hands feel numb, more going into my fingers

my lips feel stiff and numb
outside side of my ears is also feeling numb
and sometimes i shake a lot, like my hand or leg will start shaking

Does this seem like Peripheral neuropathy affects?  i have only known abut my diabetes since march, but i was really careless and ate a lot of junk food and drink a lot of sodas in past 10 years.  

I am worried sick this could be ALS(i really really hope its not, just got married)

Yesterday i checked my sugar and  hadn't eaten anything in 7 hours and it came to 141
than i ate something and checked it again 4 hours after eating and it came out to 188
I do take Metformin

I took metformin with meal so it should have helped but instead it went up

My question is do these symptoms sound like diabetes or something else?

I read that for me to get nerves damage from Diabetes i have to have Diabetes for 20-25 years, but i have only knonw about my issues since 2014

Even sometimes i get blury vision in my eyes

please help if you can

Thanks

First of all, calm down.  Worrying sick over the symptoms you mentioned does NOT help anything.  Stress only causes problems.  You can do this...calm down. Take this experience as a lesson learned.  You cannot take a vacation from diabetes.  You must watch what you eat at all times.  Or else, you will pay for it.

Your message provides some possible clues of what is going on.  First, you said you were able to maintain good blood sugar numbers, but then ate whatever for 3 months, and then things went haywire.  Sounds like your body produced a great deal of inflammation and diabetic symptoms during the 3 months of abuse, and now you are paying for it.  Don't think you can reverse the damage over a day or two.  Give your body a couple of weeks at least show signs of recovery.   You admittedly stated that you abused it for 3 months...so I really don't think ALS is your problem.  It is more likely your body is recovering from the abuse, making the diabetic condition worse.

Pay attention to what Diabetes86 wrote.  It's the carbohydrates that cause problems in your diabetes diet.  Eating low carb, moderate protein and high fat diet will give you a really good fighting chance to get back to better health relatively quickly. Google LCHF diet, and you will find sufficient doctors and other resources behind what you should be eating, and if you happen to be vegetarian, there is also versions of LCHF diet to accommodate this. It doesn't make sense for one with diabetes to consume carbohydrate, and then take medication to reduce the impact of the ingested carbo.  So, the logical conclusion is don't eat the carbo to begin with.  

So...in conclusion....calm down.  The abuse your body experienced is likely reacting to it now.  Get your diet set right to help your body recover quickly.  If your blood sugar is out of control from the abuse, it rises and dives, and you can experience things like the shakes (low blood sugar periods), and during the cyclical period, you can experience high thirst and hunger, too.  Eat LCHF to help get it under control.  Good luck.

does this sound like ALS?

[diabetes86]

188 4 hours after eating is very high. Test your BG 1 hour after eating that will tell you how your body handles carbohydrates.  Its carbohydrates (carbs) that raise BG not fat.  some of your symptoms sound like neropathy.  if you can reduce your carbs till your BG stays under 140. if you cant do that then you may need more drugs.

Metforman takes 6 to 8 weeks to build up in your system, it does NOT work as you think where you take it at meals for the meal.  You take it at meals so you take it with food.
